Witch - [3.x - Discontinued for now] Burning Spectres - Torch the Atlas - HC Shaper, Elder, Uber Atziri - Forum

Awesome, followed this buildguide (with minor variatians) and killed Uber-Atziri myself for the first time ever! Happy days! Shaper was also cakewalk.	Posted by Phantom84#5107 on Feb 12, 2018, 6:28:06 AM Quote this Post

You need to drop GMP in your curse setup for dual curse, and with culling strike, you want to be hitting as many things as possible all the time. On the Scourge vs. +1 curse, I'd go Scourge. I tried the +1 curse and didn't like it. 2 curses is really nice for hardcore when you run into bosses in maps, but it doesn't extend to guardians or shaper due to their high curse resistance - while culling strike always works. I have one question about using a culling strike (CS) Scourge based on your comments and your profile ... In your first quote you say to not lose GMP so that culling strike can be more effective. Based on that, I assumed that Ball Lightning (BL) had to be in the Scourge so that CS would trigger. But later I saw in your gear that you don't have BL in your CS Scourge. Therefore, are you only using the damage from Desecrate (& the goelm?) to trigger CS (and not BL), or does any damage from the character trigger the CS? TIA	Posted by UUCyberSteve#7086 on Feb 12, 2018, 12:18:24 PM Quote this Post
I have a handful of exalted worth of gear and currency (probably 12 ex), Think I could completely reroll my character from cwc sr/firestorm to this? i also tried to open your PoB, but the spectres you use aren't in the list. am i missing something?

TIA Any damage from your character triggers the CS, as far as I can tell. It's not easy to prove - most anything dies long before CS could get it, except really tough bosses. However, I've been getting a fair number more spectral wolves. Current league IGN: Teldra_Anc_LAD Feel free to message me in game if I'm on.

Sure. You're looking at ~50 regrets for the tree, plus another 10 for the ascendancy points. That's still less than an exalt. Gear is cheap for this build - even jewels are cheap by now.

While leveling how to keep spectres strong ? Should I keep flame sentinels till I can get solar gards ?	Posted by NanoPish#1822 on Feb 12, 2018, 11:17:32 PM Quote this Post

Minion and Totem elemental resistance, and remember to resummon them whenever you start clearing a higher level area. A Wraithlord helm doesn't hurt, either - just remember not to rely on it into later levels. As for Flame Sentinels vs Solar Guards, I'd ask around in global 6666, someone will likely be willing to desecrate some SGs for you in their hideout.

Just wanted to say Hi and Thanks! This is by far the best build I have tested - for the first time, I have felled Shaper, Uber Atziri and Vaal Temple. The only thing that's on my checklist is Hall of Grandmasters, and I died several times there... but thumb's up and cheers anyway! :) P.S. Most probably, I'm getting a break from POE for some time... switching to Kingdom Come: Deliverance ;) - TroubiCZ	Posted by trouba#5401 on Feb 13, 2018, 8:19:32 AM Quote this Post
